Bio
Among the most eminent living screenwriters, Walter Bernstein was first a regular contributor to The New Yorker and wrote for some of early television's finest dramatic shows. He is best known as the writer of films, among them Fail Safe, The Molly Maguires, The Magnificant Seven, and The Front (for which he received an Academy Award nomination). During the anticommunist period, he was blacklisted and could not work openly as a writer. His memoir, Inside Out, is an account of this experience.
